My grandad was doing some research the other day and found mentions of his father and grandfather in the Newsletter in 1927, which has inspired me to start doing some digging myself.

So far I've gotten to the name of my 4x great-grandfather, but record keeping is a bit spotty from this point on. I've found mentions of a fella with the same name around the dates he would have been alive, but these are limited to livestock sales in Down, an assault charge in Ballybogey, and finally a drowning in Portrush. If these were the same guy he'd quite the life!

So has anyone ever done anything similar in the past? Any sources to recommend? Any fun stories you want to share for a laugh?
